Abstract: An In vivo classroom research study was conducted to test the generalizability of the deep-level reasoning questions effect from the vicarious learning literature to a procedural quantitative physics domain using data from the ANDES intelligent homework system in the PSLC Physics LearnLab (www.LearnLab.org) at the USNA. This study tested the long term impact of using videos to introduce a topic with a guided learning with deep-level questions against unguided learning controls on student’s homework performance. While there were no long term learning differences, the participants introduced to the material via videos guided by deep questions completed homework in significantly less time than control participants.
